The Chong Law Firm

I'll research this firm before writing.

The Chong Law Firm, P.A. (also appearing as "Chong Law Firm, PA") is headquartered at 2961 Centerville Road, Suite 350, Wilmington, Delaware, with additional offices listed in Lansdale and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is a small, regional general-practice firm — not BigLaw and not an IP boutique. Its own website describes Jimmy Chong's practice as focused on personal injury alongside patent infringement, plus business transactions, landlord-tenant, and criminal matters. No AmLaw, Chambers, or IAM IP ranking for the firm was located. As a size indicator on the patent docket: Lex Machina reported the firm as the most active plaintiff-side filer in patent cases in 2021, and a later Lex Machina report covered by Global Legal Post credits it with representing plaintiffs in 795 patent cases from 2020–2022 (the highest of any firm, with over 80% on behalf of high-volume plaintiffs).

Technology areas. The firm is not technology-specialized, and no published practice description claims standards, SEP, pharma, or semiconductor expertise. The tracked matters span consumer/home electronics and remote-monitoring systems (Portus), vehicle-telematics/fleet tracking (Orthosie Systems), and scan-to-email document routing (MPHJ). Delaware filings under the firm's signature also include software and business-method patents asserted by IP Edge-linked plaintiffs (Lamplight, Mellaconic, Swirlate, Backertop) — e.g., dynamic page generation, customizable website access, and location-based discovery. The profile is volume assertion of acquired patents, not technical specialization.

Side preference. Overwhelmingly plaintiff-side: 4 of 4 tracked appearances are on the plaintiff side, and no defense-side representation is tracked. Roles vary — local counsel (Portus), counsel (Orthosie), of counsel (MPHJ), and lead counsel in an untitled matter — consistent with a firm that serves as Delaware counsel for out-of-state NPE plaintiffs and, in some campaigns, as lead counsel.

Notable matters. Portus Singapore Pte Ltd & Portus Pty Ltd v. Whirlpool Corp. (filed April 2026; S.D. Tex. 4:26-cv-03306, with a parallel E.D. Tex. filing) asserts U.S. Patents 9,961,097 and 9,615,526 on remote premises access and control; Unified Patents describes Portus as an NPE that has asserted the same family against Samsung, ADI, Trane, LG, Lennox, Peloton, Tonal, and BSH, and Whirlpool moved to dismiss on § 287 marking and damages-window grounds. The Orthosie Systems E.D. Tex. campaign against telematics defendants (SkyBitz, Lytx, Kore Wireless, Track Star, and others) resolved largely through settlement and voluntary dismissal, several with prejudice. MPHJ Technology Investments, LLC v. The Coca-Cola Company is part of the widely reported "scan-to-email" demand-letter program that drew FTC and state attorney-general scrutiny; the individual Coca-Cola disposition could not be verified from the sources reviewed.

Regulatory/discipline development relevant to diligence. The firm featured prominently in the District of Delaware's third-party-funding inquiry. Chief Judge Connolly issued a January 23, 2024 production order compelling disclosure of retainer agreements and communications held by Swirlate IP, Jimmy Chong, and the Chong Law Firm concerning IP Edge LLC and Mavexar LLC, and on December 1, 2023 he referred Jimmy Chong to the Delaware Office of Disciplinary Counsel. These are proceedings and referrals, not adjudicated findings of misconduct, but they are the firm's most publicly significant patent-related development.

PTAB/IPR and personnel. No public evidence was found of a notable IPR/PGR filing or defense practice at the firm, and no institution-rate or filing-volume data supports any scale claim; the Portus patents have drawn third-party prior-art and challenge activity from Unified Patents, not from the firm. Named personnel are limited: Jimmy Chong, founder and principal (Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey bars; admitted in D. Del., E.D. Pa., and D.D.C.), and Andrew Chong, shown as local counsel in the Portus matter per the tracked docket, whose firm affiliation could not be independently confirmed on the firm website. Andrew S. Curfman appears alongside Chong in certain Delaware filings but could not be verified as a firm member. No Chambers-, IAM-, or AmLaw-recognized IP litigation partners were identified, and no attorney-count or revenue figures for the firm were located.
